gem_package mysql

On Ubuntu 8.04, it tries to install version 2.7.3 of the mysql gem.

Problem is that version only exists for win32. 2.7 is the latest for
*nix. I assume it should be installing 2.7?

drbrain tracked it down to

chef/chef/blob/99d0f7cccb99e2f9214c7bc0194b6c4573d9f557/chef/lib/chef/provider/package/rubygems.rb#L85


      
            return @candidate_version if @candidate_version
          
            status = popen4("#{gem_binary_path} list --remote #{@new_resource.package_name}#{' --source=' + @new_resource.source if @new_resource.source}") do |pid, stdin, stdout, stderr|
              stdout.each do |line|
                installed_versions = gem_list_parse(line)
                next unless installed_versions
                Chef::Log.debug("candidate_version: remote rubygem(s) available: #{installed_versions.inspect}")
                
                unless installed_versions.empty?
                  Chef::Log.debug("candidate_version: setting install candidate version to #{installed_versions.first}")
                  @candidate_version = installed_versions.first
                end
              end
          
            end
          
            unless status.exitstatus == 0
              raise Chef::Exceptions::Package, "#{gem_binary_path} list --remote failed - #{status.inspect}!"
            end
            @candidate_version
          end

where it just picks the first version returned, regardless of platform.
